• Brad Paisley (Ok, I wouldn't hate it if Brad won- he's a hard working man)

• Keith Urban ( He toured sooome last year, and I wouldn't hate it if he won, but I'm not totally convinced that he deserves it)

HOME DEPOT HUMANITARIAN AWARD - LeAnn Rimes
(Um, ok- what humanitarian efforts did she achieve this year? Uh, she married a gay man and took him off the streets? She saved to catepillars and adopted them as her eyebrows? She is growing teeth to donate to a horse in need of a transplant? Somebody help me out here!!!)
I think it's quite possible that the Academy of Country usic has lost its damn mind! What are your thoughts?

You make me smile with all your comments!!
to say you are biast is an understatement hahahahaha
I also agree on dislike of KC - however, Down the Road is a great great great song - mainly because Mac Macanally wrote it and he is just great himself (okay a bit of partiality on my part too because he is TKO haha) :-)
Here's to next years noms and DIERKS!!!!!!!!!!!
ok. so as an avid country music listener i can help with some of this.
totally 100% agree with Kenny and RF comments.
also soooo glad Carrie was nominated for Entertainer of the Year. and also agree that although George Strait is an icon and a legend...Trace should have been in that category instead of him.
Carrie for top Female vocalist as well. as we witnessed on the grammy's. girl can sing.
James Otto for new male vocalist. done and done.
the new female vocalists i think are strange b/c all of them have had one and only one song i think. julianne hough really? girl needs to stick with dancing with the d-list stars. i vote sarah buxton for this cause she's a good writer.
you need to hear "in color". it's legit. i'm not a huge fan of the song. but overall it's incredible writing and will likely win everything it's been nominated for.
but i did love "you're gonna miss this"
everything else i'm meh about.....
